321 Luxury Apartment Homes to Add to Emerging Dallas Midtown Area

DALLAS – Oct. 1, 2015 – Mill Creek Residential, a premier multifamily investor and operator specializing in exceptional apartment communities across the U.S., today announced that through a joint venture with Elite International Investment Fund, a leading real estate investment platform with capital from Asia, it has broken ground on Modera Galleria, its newest apartment community in the growing Midtown market.

The mixed-use community, featuring 321 luxury apartment homes, sits next door to the Galleria Dallas, a nationally acclaimed destination mall home to many prominent national retailers. Situated at the intersection of Noel Road and James Temple Drive, Modera Galleria rests on the northeast quadrant of Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (Interstate 635) and Dallas North Tollway, providing residents expedient access to a variety of professional jobs across the metro area.

“With the completion of the LBJ project and the future Midtown redevelopment, we are incredibly excited about this neighborhood,” said Rick Perdue, managing director for Mill Creek Residential. “We believe Modera Galleria will set a new high-water mark for residential homes in the area and create sustainable value for our residents and our investment partners.”

Bill Zhou, managing partner of Elite International Investment Fund, added: “We are thrilled to start our programmatic joint venture relationship with Mill Creek from such an exciting project. I’m continually optimistic on the momentum of the Dallas market and planning to make further investment in Dallas soon.”

Featuring unique floor plans and a variety of lifestyle-enhancing amenities, Modera Galleria offers residents a chic experience in an increasingly vibrant neighborhood. As part of the booming Midtown corridor, Modera Galleria is in close proximity to an array of in-city occupational opportunities including Coca-Cola, FedEx, Wells Fargo, Clear Channel, SoftLayer Technologies Inc., Tesla Motors and FedEx. Located amidst the LBJ Business District, the community offers an easy commute to northern suburbs such as Frisco and Plano.

Among the national retailers at the Galleria Dallas are Macy’s, Nordstrom, Tiffany & Co., Gucci, Ann Taylor and Pottery Barn at a site that contains 3.7 million square feet of retail, office and hotel space. Also within minutes of the community are the Preston Valley Shopping Center, Target, Valley View Center and the T Bar M Racquet Club.

Nearby cuisine options include Sahara, Mughlai, Hibashi, Tortas La Hechizera and FreshPoint Dallas. Those seeking increased choices can make the drive to Belt Line Road, which has been dubbed “Restaurant Road” because of its high concentration of restaurants, bars and nightlife options. Residents looking to escape the bustle of the city can find respite on the Northern Trail, Cottonwood Trail and White Rock Creek Trail.

Modera Galleria consists of studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartment homes that feature wood-plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry and latest plumbing, lighting and electrical fixtures.
